Paul McCartney to Release New Album this Year?

According to Showbiz411, Paul McCartney himself confirmed that his latest album will drop before the year is out.

In the report, Roger Friendman wrote:

"I ran into McCartney last night at Clive Davis's swanky book party in the Hamptons. The eternally young ex Beatle and I discussed his recent collaboration with Italian deejays The Bloody Beetroots. I also mentioned to him how much I love Sing the Changes from his latest Fireman album. These are all considered experimental by Paul, whose last album of new material was the excellent "Memory Almost Full" in 2007.

When I asked if the new album was coming after the new year, McCartney looked surprised. "No," he said, "Now. Before that."

The news comes just a few weeks after McCartey wrapped his 'Out There' world tour, where he and his band visited both places of historical significance to Paul and new spots for the very first time

Paul is throwing himself into 2013 with full force following yet another landmark year in 2012, which saw him conclude his record-breaking "On The Run" tour, release his Grammy-winning Kisses On The Bottom album, accept a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, play at both the Diamond Jubilee and Olympics Opening Ceremony, be named MusiCares Person of the Year, and headline 12-12-12 The Concert For Sandy Relief--to highlight just a few memorable moments.
